I am so happy that the new coalition government has decided to continue with the vital work of helping more people in the UK get online to improve their options in life and take part in the same conversations as those of us who use the web every day. I feel strongly that government can provide leadership on this issue as so many of the people who are offline are also the heaviest users of government services. There are going to be big changes around whitehall in light of the budget tomorrow but I hope that where relevant, I can champion the use of digital technologies to improve government processes, improve services for us all and crucially, to try and end the two tier society that we live in where so many are left out of all the exciting ideas and transparency that the new coalition want to realise.
